Vertical motion of Phuket Island (1994–2018) due to the Sumatra-Andaman mega-thrust earthquake cycle: impact on sea-level and consequences for coral reefs

Vertical motion of Phuket Island (1994–2018) due to the Sumatra-Andaman mega-thrust earthquake cycle: impact on sea-level and consequences for coral reefs

Macro-tidal coral reefs are particularly sensitive to medium to long-term changes in sea-level. Vertical motions of the seabed contribute to both lower or higher relative sea-level changes, particularly in tectonic plate boundary deformation zones along active subduction trenches. Phuket Island in S...
